Charlotte with her head down and her hair over her face, mixing a bowl of cookie dough. Her hand is blurred from mixing

All the ingredients for the cookies weighed out in bowls. There is a whole egg on the table

Charlotte's cookies piled up on two different plates. You can see that they have oats and chocolate chips in them

Charlotte playing with the playdough she has made. She is sitting upright and looks like she is laughing

Charlotte had a really productive day with Kim. She enjoyed some sensory stimulation from card shuffling, before going on to bake some lovely cookies and making her own edible playdough. Sounds like you've been very busy, Charlotte!
